Experts locate hole spewing hot liquid in Cascadia Subduction Zone; Some say it’s keeping California safe from Big One

Mathew 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

Important Takeaways:

  • CRACK OF DOOM Red alert for magnitude-9 mega-earthquake off Pacific coast as crack discovered in 600-mile fault at bottom of ocean
  • Experts are on high alert amid fears a crack at the bottom of the ocean could trigger an apocalyptic earthquake.
  • The hole, just 50 miles off the coast of the US state of Oregon, is spewing hot liquid that scientists warn could spark a magnitude-nine earthquake with the potential to devastate the west coast.
  • It is located along a 600-mile fault line that stretches from California to Canada known as the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
  • Although the hole was first spotted in 2015, scientists now warn that the liquid coming out is a so-called “fault lubricant”, which allows tectonic plates to move easily.
  • Therefore, the more fluid that is in the cracks of the faults, the less pressure there is between the two tectonic plates.
  • Without it, pressure beneath the earth’s crust can grow, leading to an unbelievably powerful quake.
  • Subduction systems – where one tectonic plate slides over another – have been responsible for some of the deadliest earthquakes in recent years, including the 2011 quake in Japan that killed some 20,000 people.
  • Scientists believe the last powerful quake in the Cascadia zone was in 1700.
